Noob recommendation request | | I'm an inventor and wish to own a CNC mill to prototype and test ideas.
I am not a machinist and have never run a mill before. I am, however, a Physicist and have no problem reading books or instruction manuals.
Can you please recommend a good option for me <$2000?
The intended use is to produce prototyping plastic resin molds/diy plastic injection molds.
Requirements:
Able to mill aluminum/plastic
Complete or close to complete hardware package (no software) with minimal assembly time (not a built from scratch)
Compatible with OTS software like, perhaps, camworks
Preferences:
Precision (rigidity + resolution?) is more important than job speed
Able to work on parts at least 5"x5"x4"
Ideally:
UPS/Fed-Ex-able
Thanks so much!
